Marc,
The = operator will compare sequences of more than one value. It returns
true if just one value is found in the sequence.
xquery version "1.0-ml";
declare variable $file-types := ("dog","cat","foo","bar");
let $file-type := "cat"
return ($file-type = $file-types)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<results warning="atomic item">true</results>
If you're coming values between 2 sequences if just one value in one is
found in the other, if evaluates to true. So,
xquery version "1.0-ml";
declare variable $file-types := ("dog","cat","foo","bar");
let $file-type := ("just", "cat", "some", "list", "of", "words")
return ($file-type eq $file-types)
====> also returns true
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<results warning="atomic item">true</results>
